8. Now, thou shalt chose the name, Kriste, which is the Ahamic
word for knowledge also.

9. In this, then, thou shalt have truth on thy side in heaven
before thy Holy Council, and
on earth thou shalt have a personal embodiment.

CHAPTER XLVII.

LOOEAMONG FALSELY ANNOUNCETH HIMSELF THE KRISTE (CHRIST).

1. The Lord said: Behold, it came to pass as had been foretold
by God, Jehovih's Son: The
Triunes will all become false Gods, because they have denied
the Almighty.

2. God said: There is but One, who is All Knowledge.
Whatsoever angel or God
announceth himself to be All Knowledge, is false in presence
of Jehovih.

3. Nevertheless, Looeamong had it proclaimed in heaven and
earth that he was The
Kriste, which is the Ahamic expression for All Knowledge.

4. The Lord said: Now, therefore, Looeamong was from this time
forth a false God in
heaven and on earth.

5. And Looeamong commanded Thoth, his angel warrior in command
of his earthly
dominions, to raise up tribes of warriors amongst mortals.

6. And, by the inspiration of said Thoth, these warriors were
induced to call themselves
Kriste'yans (Christians).

7. God said: That man may know, this is true, behold, the
followers of Jehovih are not
warriors, nor have they ever been.

8. Jehovih said: This mark put I upon man from the time of
Cain to the present day, that
whoso raiseth his hand against his brother, raiseth his hand
against Me also. And this
mark shall distinguish My servants to the end of the world.
Behold, I alone, am All
Knowledge.

9. Now, it came to pass, that from this time forth great
success attended the wars of
Looeamong for the glory of his heavenly kingdoms.

10. And, for the space of three hundred years, Looeamong
gradually gained on Baal and
his alliances, both on earth and in heaven.

11. And Looeamong captured and cast out of his dominions more
than seven hundred
false Gods and false Lords.

12. And he broke up six hundred and eighty oracle-houses and
temples, used for
consulting the spirits, who called themselves Gods, whose only
service was to advise on
war, conquest and destruction.

13. So, that, even in Looeamong's falsity to himself, he
rendered a great service to
Jehovih, against whom he was doing battle.

14. For three hundred years more, Looeamong, with upward of
six thousand million angel
warriors, pursued war in heaven and on earth; and he had
captured mostly all the earthly
strong-holds of other false Gods. Baal, however, still
maintained himself in Roma, and as
God of the Roman empire, but under many names.

15. God, Son of Jehovih, said: Now, behold, even Looeamong,
the false God, bewailed
the wars, and he also bewailed his own doctrines.

21. Thou imperson? Thou shortness in all? That beguileth us to
come hither, to find thee? Or to go thither to find thee?

22. And find of a truth, that we find thee not? Yea, to
understand that thou art the waste
and desolate of all that is?

23. And, as for the Father, which we three built up, is He not
dead? A divided kingdom,
with three astrayed sons? And every one for himself?

24. O thou Brahma, thou hadst a peaceful division. And thou
Budha, a place of great
profit.

25. But I, your equal, with an unprofitable division of these
western heavens. Mine
are warriors in heaven and on earth. Yours, peace and profit.
How can I embellish
Hapsendi, my heavenly seat? And make it a place of grandeur,
like unto yours?

26. Behold, my thousands of millions of angels are needed for
warriors. How have I time
to embellish my throne, and my heavenly city? No wonder, ye
twain point the finger of
mockery at me, for the poverty of my heavenly kingdom.

27. Have I not been fighting battles with satan all these
hundreds and hundreds of years? Did I not find heaven, even from the first, a place of war?

28. Shall these things continue forever? Who shall I inquire
of? Have I not declared, I am
one with the Father, and one with the Holy Ghost?

29. Why, then, shall I not look to myself? And is this not the
sum of all? Every one for
himself? Was not myself a self from the first? And to continue
a self for itself forever?

30. Henceforth, I go not down to send peace on earth; I go not
to send peace, but a sword.

31. I go to set man at variance against his brother and
father, and woman against her sister
and mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

32. I will make the foes of a man, they of his own household.

33. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not
worthy of me; and he that loveth
son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

34. And he that will not take up his sword and proclaim me, is
not worthy of me.

4. In Thebes, six thousand Kriste'yan warriors were massacred
by the armies of the
emperor Maximum, inspired by Baal.

5. In Eocla, the Gods Jupiter and Ira inspired the king
Hoethus to slaughter three thousand
seven hundred Kriste'yan soldiers.

6. In Utica, the God Jupiter, with seven thousand angels
caused three hundred of thy
soldiers to be burned in a lime kiln. And they were soldiers
battling for thee.

7. In Damascus, two thousand seven hundred of thy warriors
were cut to pieces with the
sword. And the only charge against them was their fighting for
thee. Yea, their sacred bull
was taken from them and roasted alive. And their bloody cross,
which thou gavest them
as a sign of the battle-cry, was broken and burnt.

8. In Crete, one thousand eight hundred of thy warriors, who
had served thee well in
slaughtering pagans, were walled around with fire, and roasted
alive.

9. On the plains of Agatha, where thy soldiers, three hundred
and eighty of them, were
returning with their booty, having done thee great service in
destroying heathen temples,
they were set upon by the Gath'yans and destroyed, and for no
other cause than that they
served thee.

11. Descend thou again to the earth, to Hatuas (Constantine),
and inspire thou him to raise
a mortal army of forty thousand men, and move upon Roma.

12. Behold, I will prove myself before Hatuas, and he shall
covenant unto me. Through
him will I drive Baal out of Roma. And, as I make myself
Kriste of heaven, so will I
make Hatuas (Constantine) emperor of the whole earth.

13. Thoth then descended to the earth, to Hatuas, who was a
su'is, and could both see
angels and hear them talk; and Thoth induced Hatuas to raise
an army of forty thousand
soldiers, and set out for conquest.

14. And when they had come to the plains of Agatha, even where
the Kriste'yans had
been massacred many years before, behold, Looeamong and his
angel hosts appeared in
the heavens above Hatuas' army, so that all the soldiers
thereof beheld the heavenly
visitors.

15. And Looeamong showed unto Hatuas, in the air of heaven, a
true cross, on which was
written in letters of blood: IL'KRISTE.

16. Nevertheless, there was no man present who could read the
inscription; and
many were the conjectures thereon. In the evening, Looeamong
descended to Hatuas,
and said unto him: This is the interpretation of the sign and
the cross I showed thee:

17. IN THIS THOU
SHALT CONQUER! And when thou arisest in the
morning thou shalt cause
to be made a cross, of most excellent workmanship; and thou
shalt have it inscribed: THE
KRISTE, OUR LORD,
SON OF THE HOLY GHOST.

18. And this cross shalt thou cause to be carried at the head
of thy army. And thy edicts
shalt thou call, bulls, and they shall be written with lamb's
blood, in remembrance of the
sacrifice of the Jews in Egupt, through which sacrifice the
Father in heaven delivered
them. For I am Lord of heaven and earth.

19. Accordingly, a cross was made, and highly decorated, and
inscribed as commanded,
and Hatuas and his soldiers went forth with renewed courage.
And so great was their zeal,
that everything fell before them.

20. And now, that Looeamong's angels had an anchorage on
earth, they were in all
respects the equals of angels of the pagan Gods. So that,
whilst Hatuas was victorious on
earth, Gabriel, otherwise Thoth, was victorious in heaven.

21. And it came to pass in not many years, that Looeamong,
through Gabriel,
captured Baal and all the false Gods in all the regions far
and near. And Gabriel
took, along with the captured Gods, seven million and six
hundred thousand
warring angels, and carried them altogether to Makavishtu, in
hada, and cast them into
hell, where there were already more than ten millions who were
in chaos and madness.

22. And Gabriel had the place walled around with fire and
noxious gases, so that none
could escape.

23. Such was the end of the earthly dominion of Baal, who had
ruled over mortals for
evil, for upward of three thousand years. And, in fact, it was
the final termination
of the earthly Gods that ruled over mortals through oracles
and pagan practices.

24. The earth was now clear of evil Gods, whose chief labor
had been for thousands of
years to capture the spirits of the recent dead, and make
slaves of them for the glory of the
hadan kingdoms.

25. Thus had Looeamong done a good service; for the earth and
lower heavens had now
nothing to suffer from any Gods, save the Triunes.

26. Looeamong inspired Hatuas, the mortal emperor, to call
together a council of wise
men from all the kingdoms of Arabin'ya, Heleste, Parsi'e and
Uropa, to select from all the
religious doctrines in the world, that which was the wisest
and best, that it might be
established by kings, emperors and governors by the sword and
spear, so there should
never more be but one religion.

27. And, in course of time, there assembled a council of
seventeen hundred and eighty-six
learned men from all the regions named, and they placed
themselves under the rules and
presence of Hatuas. And he selected from them one hundred and
forty-four speakers.

28. As for the others, they were divided into groups of
twelves, besides a goodly number
being appointed scribes and translators. But many, having the
appearance of Jews, were
rejected altogether.

29. Now, the council had brought with them, in all, two
thousand two hundred and thirty-one
books and legendary tales of Gods and Saviors and great men,
together with a record
of the doctrines taught by them.

31. Search ye these books, and whatsoever is good in them,
that retain; but, whatsoever is
evil, that cast away. What is good in one book, unite ye with
that which is good in another
book. And whatsoever is thus brought together shall be called,
THE BOOK
OF BOOKS.
And it
shall be the doctrine of my people, which I will recommend
unto all nations, that there
shall be no more war for religions' sake.

32. Thoth (Gabriel) and his angel hosts formed a circle around
about the mortal council, a
thousand angels deep on every side, and extending upward
densely for a long way, and
thence, by a line of light, extending to Looeamong's throne,
in Hapsendi, his heavenly
kingdom.

33. By day and by night, Thoth and his hosts watched over the
mortal council, overshadowing
their every thought and word.

34. For four years and seven months the council thus
deliberated, and selected from the
two thousand two hundred and thirty-one books and legendary
tales.

35. And, at the end of that time, there had been selected and
combined much that was
good and great, and worded so as to be well-remembered by
mortals.

36. As yet, no God had been selected by the council, and so
they balloted, in order to
determine that matter. And the first ballot gave prominence to
the following Gods: Jove,
Jupiter, Salenus, Baal, Thor, Gade, Apollo, Juno, Aries,
Taurus, Minerva, Rhets, Mithra,
Theo, Fragapatti, Atys, Durga, Indra, Neptune, Vulcan, Kriste,
Agni, Croesus, Pelides,
Huit, Hermes, Thulis, Thammus, Eguptus, Iao, Aph, Saturn,
Gitchens, Minos, Maximo,
Hecla and Phernes.

37. Besides these, there were twenty-two other Gods and
Goddesses, that received a small
number of votes each.

38. In seven days thereafter, another ballot was taken, and
the number of Gods was
reduced to twenty-seven.

39. In seven days thereafter, another ballot was taken, and
the number of Gods was
reduced to twenty-one.

40. Thus was the number reduced each ballot, but slower and
slower. Six days in the
week were allotted to discuss the merits and demerits of the
Gods. But many weeks
elapsed towards the last, when the number was not reduced.

41. For one year and five months the balloting lasted, and at
that time the ballot rested
nearly equally on five Gods, namely: Jove, Kriste, Mars, Crite
and Siva. And here the
ballot changed not for yet seven time more, which was seven
weeks.

42. Hatuas spake before the council, saying: Ours is a labor
for all the nations of the
earth, and for all time. I know the angels of heaven are with
us in this matter. We
have found five Gods, good and acceptable before the world.
What say the council,
that the angels give us a sign? For we all do know the angels'
signs of these Gods.

43. The council said: Well said, thou wisest of men! Such a
God shall be ours, now and
forever.

44. And immediately, there and then, LOOEAMONG
AND HIS ANGELS GAVE A SIGN IN FIRE, OF
A CROSS SMEARED WITH BLOOD, AND IT RESTED ON A BULLíS HORN,
even as a cloud of fire on a
cloud of fire!

45. Whereupon Kriste was declared GOD
AND LORD
OF ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH.

46. And the council agreed thereto, unanimously, and,
moreover, to reject all the other
Gods.

47. The next question was, what mortal representative should
be chosen?

48. The first ballot brought out the following men:
Zarasthustra, Thothma, Abraham,
Brahma, Atys, Thammus, Joshu, Sakaya, Habron, Bali, Crite,
Chrisna, Thulis, Witoba
and Speio. Besides these, there were included in the ballot,
forty-six other men, who
received a small number of ballots each.

49. God, Son of Jehovih, said: Behold, the Council of Nice
balloted for a twelve-month,
as to what man heard the Voice? Sayest thou, Jehovih sendeth
His matters to a council of
men?

50. Hatuas said: The Gods will not let us choose any man. Now,
therefore, hear me: All
the law-givers chosen by the Gods, have been iesu. Now, since
we can not make
preference as to a man, let us say: THE
MAN, IESU?

51. Thereupon, the name, Iesu, was adopted, and the sacred
books were written
accordingly.

52. God, Son of Jehovih, said: The Council of Nice sinned not,
for the doctrines set forth,
as Iesu's, were for Jehovih.

53. But, wherein their words made worshipful the names of
Kriste and the Holy Ghost,
behold, that matter was with Looeamong.

54. God said: My testimonies were previously with Abraham and
Brahma and Moses, and
I spake not of Kriste nor of the Holy Ghost, I spake of God
and of the I AM.

55. They have said: Whosoever speaketh a word against the son
of man, it shall be
forgiven him; but, whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven
him.

56. Therefore, suffer ye Looeamong to bear his own testimony
to the kingdom whence it
sprang. The Holy Ghost was his labor.

57. Jehovih said: Had I weakened since the time of Moses, that
I need to incarnate
Myself, in order to make man understand Me?

58. God said: Sufficient unto a time is the work of Jehovih;
because the Triunes over
threw the oracles and hundreds of false Gods and hundreds of
sacred books full of error
and evil, behold they fulfilled their time.

59. Sufficient unto another time, even the present, is another
work of Jehovih, which is to
establish His Presence with the living generation.

60. Jehovih said: Behold, I created; and I am sufficient unto
all men.

61. In the olden times, man worshipped all the spirits of the
dead, and I cut him short,
giving him many Gods; and, again, I cut him short, and gave
him three Gods, and then,
three Gods in one.

62. This day, I cut him short of all, save his Creator. Behold
the signs of My times, My
preachers are legions.
